Still, I entirely understand why long time fans of one of PC gaming’s most prized titles are upset that Diablo is getting the Command and Conquer/Dungeon Keeper/Lineage/Everything You’ve Ever Known and Loved Eventually treatment.

I’m also guilty of dumping an embarrassing amount of time and money into Hearthstone, so it’s not like Blizzard hasn’t made a decent mobile game before. Make the game more accessible through mobile, and it’s not like clicking demons and tapping on them is a fundamentally different concept. So when I heard that the game was going mobile, that’s the level of expectation I was coming in with. I played through, got through to Nightmare mode, and called it a day. I thought Diablo 3 was just fine, but I’m past the point in my life where I can spend even a gerbil’s lifespan clicking on endless waves of increasingly large healthbars. Like most kids my age, I played several dogs lives worth of time playing Diablo 2 with my buddies. Personally, I don’t much give a Baal sized shit if Blizzard decides to take their newest iteration of a decades old stale franchise and put it on my pocket computer.
